Testing

Open a web browser and access the URL http://localhost:8080/home. Once this is completed you will be requested to log in.

Step 1 Login is requested. As there is no existing user we need to create one, to do so lets click on Sign Up link.

Step 2 Complete the information required to create a new user.

Step 3 Once our user is created we will be redirected to the login page.

Finally, the application will show us the home page.
